Compression tights have been shown to be of absolutely no benefit from a cycling performance POV - they might help with recovery after a hard workout. They're also made from thin lycra which has pretty poor thermal properties, so pretty useless in winter. For cycling you'd be better of from something made in a fleecy-backed 'roubaix' material like the DHB ones on wiggle.
Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
They feel good in recovery, I use them for running, spin classes and they work well in that context. I have used them on the bike on warmish days and they felt fine - but then I am really only a recreational cyclist. All in all I am a great fan of SKINS tights.
